What is the marketplace?
At the marketplace, you can make purchases for items or vouchers with your flex$ or points.
All items available on the marketplace are from merchants within pre-approved categories, so any purchase from the marketplace will be automatically approved and deducted from your Flexible Spending Account.
What's so special about Points, why do I use it to shop at the marketplace?
Points do not expire! Unlike your flex dollars which expire at the end of each benefit period, any unused points will remain in your wallet for the duration of your tenure.
How do I get Points?
At the end of each benefit period, flex dollars will be automatically converted to points for you. How much points can be converted depends on your benefit setup.
Example:
any unused balance at the end of benefit period
annual allocation
$300
What is the difference between flex dollars & points?
Flex dollars can be used for flex claims, insurance upgrades/downgrades (during selection period) and marketplace purchase. Points can only be used for marketplace purchases.
